Narlzac85 Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 By the way, you don't set up port forwarding in vista, you set it up in your router. There should be no chance of any bluescreening. Also, my vote is for uTorrent as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lexcyn Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 I switched from uTorrent to Bittorrent because it was slowing my internet down. Bittorrent runs 100% faster for me when trying to find peers and connecting to trackers. And before you say it, yes, my router is configured properly.

By the way, you don't set up port forwarding in vista, you set it up in your router. There should be no chance of any bluescreening. Also, my vote is for uTorrent as well. Ok i will try to do it on my first computer where the router is connected to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F47AL1TY Posted March 2, 2008 Author Share Posted March 2, 2008 Do i have to do the range forward or single forward? and i have to put the same port for start and end? I just tried it on single forward and i put my utorrent port but i see no difference. Sorry if this sounds stupid, i never done this before so i have no clue on how to set it up the correct way...

marc2003 Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 utorrent for me also. i limit the upload otherwise browsing can slow down a little. and my router uses upnp so i don't need to forward any ports. it just works. i quite often max out my 8mb connection when using private trackers.

Kraftman Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 1. Find the IP of your computer (I just use ipconfig in the command prompt, there are GUI ways as well) 2. Connect to your router (10.10.0.1, 192.168.1.1, 192.168.0.1, etc) 3. For Linksys routers: 3a. Go to Applications and Gaming 3b. Application field = whatever you like, I set it as uTorrent. 3c. Start = uTorrent port (set in options -> preferences -> connection) 3d. End = same uTorrent port (set in options -> preferences -> connection) 3e. Protocol = both 3f. IP address = IP of the computer (such as 10.10.0.120, 192.168.1.120) 3g. Enable = checked. I'm not sure about D-Link or other router brands, but it shouldn't be too much different. I personally use a WRT54GS + tomato. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have linksys WRT300N and i followed all those steps but when i open utorrent on my wireless Vista computer i cant see any changes except the same slow connection.

Click Options->Speed Guide->Check to see if port is forwarded properly. If it doesn't say OK! in a green box, your port hasn't been forwarded properly.

Borbus Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 I recommend either ?Torrent or BitTorrent which are both good torrent clients. They are actually the same thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F47AL1TY Posted March 2, 2008 Author Share Posted March 2, 2008 I tried to google a few things and i read that some of the problems are caused by the fire wall (i have it disabled) and Anti-virus softwares such as norton but if i uninstall my AV software then i would be in greater risk of catching a nasty trojan or something similar. And i also read that some ports are blocked but ive tried many ports and im too frustrated to continue with this port forwarding unless someone can tell me the exact same settings they use or if someone can help me set this up in any other way because i wasted most of my day trying to make this thing work but theres no solution to this "easy process" as some may say.

F47AL1TY Posted March 2, 2008 Author Share Posted March 2, 2008 This is what i did.... i went to my xp (wired) computer which is connected to the router and from there i accessed the router page (linksys) and i did the range forwarding for utorrent, bitcomet, and azureus. I went to my room where i have my (wireless) Vista computer and i opened up all the 3 clients one at a time but all of them are still the same speed.

EnzoFX Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 if your router is upnp compliant, as well as the application (utorrent is, as well as a lot of apps), it will configure/forward the ports accordingly, by itself! all newer/new routers do this. I haven't had to forward any ports with my past 2 routers..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F47AL1TY Posted March 2, 2008 Author Share Posted March 2, 2008 (edited) Ok i think port forwarding is not needed because everything runs fine on my wireless computer except the torrent clients... i<snip> Thanks for all your help guys.

+BudMan MVC Posted March 2, 2008 MVC Share Posted March 2, 2008 Port forwarding is a REQUIREMENT for Bit torrent to work behind a NAT.. If one machine is working, then either that machine is in the DMZ, or you have forwarded the correct port to it. Or it is using UPnP to forward the correct port to itself on your router. As to that router supporting UPnP, did you think to look at its specifications??? have you bothered to even breeze over the manual?? Or even look over its web UI?
